I finally created another a photo that I am proud of. It came from my trip to Mesa Verde for my birthday in October. Life has been quite interesting for some time now. I finished my accelerated psychology course the week before my birthday. I was able to slow down a bit and work on my other three courses. Things are progressing as nicely as they could. Although I've had an emotional breakdown or two in the past month or so, I think I could be much worse off. My darling love has been coping with me and my stress better than I could ask for. I celebrated my birthday with him in my bathrobe for most of the day, while sitting on the couch with his laptop, as he did a few errands and brought back the most comfortable pair of moccasins, a lovely bouquet of flowers, the sweetest card, and the anticipation for the avgo lemono soup he made me for dinner. Sigh...
I am nearing the end of my semester, and I've been in the process of trying to decide where I want to attend the next four years or so of college. My head is swimming, but I'm giving myself at least a year to decide. I still have another semester or two, and I'm taking courses towards veterinary technician certification. We'll see where I end up, but so far, somewhere in Oregon has me hooked.
I'm still working on my Etsy account that I started about a year ago. At this point I'm basically building inventory. Pictures of my jewelry next, and then I should actually be able to snab some buyers. It's much more difficult to sell online than I thought, unless you're selling textbooks!
In the middle of it all, art is my escape and release. It makes me smile to see all of those who stop in and check out my gallery or favorite my art. I really appreciate it and want to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, who actually stops in and reads my journal entries. They have been quite vague, and I must find time to bring depth and breadth to them. Life is very juicy, I just haven't been squeezed yet.
On top of it all, snow has yet to fall in "the land of the not quite right." I guess there are a number of reason I could come up with, but it's been quite pleasant for the time being. When it falls, it dumps.
